At HOPE church we love family, and our children are an integral part of our family! Our desire is for children to encounter God's love as we demonstrate His heart, and that they would then reach the world with the same love.
The mission of HOPE Kids is to establish a foundation of healthy family and supernatural living. We desire that every child have relationship with God and with loving people, so that they will be empowered to pursue and fulfill their God-given destiny.
At Hope Church we have three separate children’s ministry classrooms.
• Nursery for children from birth to age 3 (Infant Room birth - 18 months and Toddler Room - 18 months - 3 years (or potty-trained)
• Pre-school for children from age 3 to 5
• Kids Church for children in kindergarten to 5th grade.
Each classroom is tailored to age-appropriate activities:
Nursery - infants and young toddlers will have supervised play-time, snacks, and a movie or story.
Pre-school - is a God-adventure for ages 3 through kindergarten. This fun time includes prayer, worship, a bible lesson, memory verses, crafts, snacks and always some good play time. We use a bible-based curriculum that teaches life application principles along with the stories.
Kids Church K-5th - is a friendly, fun, energetic environment where children learn the culture and principles of Kingdom living. This is done through a bible-based curriculum that contains practical application teachings, activations and spiritual activities, and games or crafts, along with monthly memory verses and quarterly challenges (ex. memorizing the books of the Bible) that reinforce each lesson.
